Integrated Population Biology and Modeling, Part A

Integrated population biology collection offers very delicately complex and precise realities of quantifying modern and traditional methods of understanding populations and population dynamics.

Human models and animals’ models are studies separately and in some chapters, they are studied together to understand modern days population role in environment and sustainable development by narrating micro level within hosts biology to macro level population studies and population biology
